At Carolina Herrera, wildflowers bloom on the Hudson River - Lethbridge Herald

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

The designer said his inspiration was the California super bloom, a phenomenon that leads to an unusually high proportion of wildflowers blossoming at once.That’s what happened on Gordon’s runway under a tent overlooking the water at the tip of Manhattan. He sent out a succession of dresses both very long and very short with dramatic bursts of florals. One typical print was a bright yellow background populated with large blue flowers. Another striking look was a belted minidress with an impressionistic mix of flowers in hot pink, green and purple.Gordon was also fond of polka dots – big and bold, and in black and white. And he sent a number of plaids down the runway, for example in a miniskirt and jacket with billowing sleeves, or in a long strapless belted number in blue and tan plaid.Glam eveningwear finished out the collection, and here too Gordon indulged his fondness for both colour, as in a shimmering green number, and for those polka dots. One of the most striking designs consisted of a sheer layer of black polka dots on white, over a light pink layer underneath – all adorned with a black bowtie sash, and a bow-like flourish on one shoulder.The evening styles managed to be both luxurious and playful; the final number resembled a skirt but with the waist at the shoulder line, again with a sheer layer of black polka dots on white, this time over a bright yellow layer underneath.“I am a big fan of colour and Caroline Herrera is all about colour,” Gordo... https://lethbridgeherald.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/2019/09/09/at-carolina-herrera-wildflowers-bloom-on-the-hudson-river/

Technicolor explosion of wildflowers springs from epic snowpack in Colorado's high country - The Colorado Sun

Tuesday, July 09, 2019

Open Space and Mountain Parks near Denver. (Dean Krakel, Special to The Colorado Sun)So, can this year’s profusion of Colorado flowers be called a “super bloom,” like the mega-flora phenomenon that drew hordes of petal peepers to southern California early this spring? The answer is, “no.” Colorado is having a year of superb blooms, but technically it doesn’t qualify as a super bloom — no matter that the term is turning up on social media. Super bloom only applies to what happens in a desert when the seeds of multiple flower species that have been lying dormant in the arid soil all of a sudden wake up and bloom at once. And this year is definitely going down in the books as a late year, meaning July visitors to wildflower haunts will have more to ooh and aah over than usual.img src="https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg?w=1024" alt class="wp-image-41004" srcset="https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg 6348w, https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg?resize=300,186 300w, https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg?resize=768,476 768w, https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg?resize=1024,635 1024w, https://coloradosun.c... https://coloradosun.com/2019/07/04/colorado-wildflower-hikes-super-bloom/

Cut Flowers Caucus blooms on Capitol Hill - Washington Examiner

Tuesday, July 09, 2019

Some of the groups, such as the Cut Flowers Caucus, operate mostly in obscurity. H.R. 3019, sponsored by a Cut Flower Caucus member, Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, is advocating for a bill that would require federal agencies to procure just domestic cut flowers and greens. The American Grown Act is aimed at mitigating trade association research that indicates 80% of the industry's demand is satiated by imports. Those imports stem from a 1961 U.S. Agency for International Development program encouraging Colombia to develop an internal flower market to move the country away from communism. A similar initiative was rolled out in 1991 when Congress offered tax advantages to Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru for products such as blooms as an incentive to divest in the illegal drug trade. “As a member of the Congressional Cut Flowers Caucus, Congressman Young is a strong supporter of the American cut flower industry," Young's spokesman Zack Brown told the Washington Examiner in a statement. "Alaska is home to the iconic peony, which is grown by family-owned farms across the state. He introduced this legislation because he is passionate about supporting small businesses, and believes that when the federal government purchases cut flowers, they should be purchasing from American flower farms like the ones in Alaska.” In Young's 46 years in the House, he's received no contributions from PACs linked to florists or nursery services and only small individual donations in 1994, 2006, and 2011 from people working in the sector, according to OpenSecrets data. The Cut Flowers Caucus is just one example of Capitol Hill's more niche collection of lawmakers. Other instances in the 116th Congress focus on areas ranging from political, ideological, regional, ethnic, and economic, including the Candy Caucus, the Civility and Respect Caucus, the Rock Caucus, the Small Brewers Caucus, the Term Limits Caucus, the Wrestling Caucus, and the Zoo and Aquarium Caucus. "I'd never heard of the Cut Flowers Caucus," Georgetown University government professor Michele Swers told the Washington Examiner with a laugh. The organizations serve different purposes, depending on the topic, she e... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/cut-flowers-caucus-blooms-on-capitol-hill

More than just a pretty petal: How flowers feed the world around us - Vernon Morning Star

Tuesday, June 25, 2019

However, so far, we have no observations of insect visitors to these nectaries.[Wild Shots: Photos of Mother Nature in Alaska] The most-studied extrafloral nectaries in non-tropical plants may be those found on bracken fern, a cosmopolitan species that grows in Southeast. (Ferns do not have flowers, so the nectaries are necessarily extrafloral, but the term is used for convenience of comparison with the truly extrafloral nectaries of flowering plants.) The nectaries on bracken are produced on very young, developing fronds, before the leaves expand, in late spring and early summer. They are dark blobs at the junctions of the major pinnae or leaflets, and small ones may occur along the midribs of each pinna. A study in Britain showed that the size of bracken nectaries varied with habitat: they were larger in open habitats than in woodland. The numerous studies of bracken nectaries have produced highly variable results: some showed that ants defend the young fern particularly against sucking insects, or only insect herbivores in the act of egg-laying, or just the eggs of the herbivores, or only leaf-chewing herbivores, while others showed no effect of the ants attracted to the nectaries. Presumably, habitat effects on nectary size are likely to be reflected in ant activity, and furthermore, the deterrent effect of ants depends on what species of ants come to the nectaries and the density of the ants. It also matters just what herbivores are involved: some insect herbivores are very well defended against ant attack and are impervious to their assaults. A lesson in ecological complexity!I have the untested impression that extrafloral nectaries on our local plants are not very well developed. For instance, on cottonwoods, although I find yellow, sticky exudates, probably a resin that might deter leaf-eating insects, on young stems near where new leaves attach, I do not see nectar-secreting g... https://www.vernonmorningstar.com/news/more-than-just-a-pretty-petal-how-flowers-feed-the-world-around-us/
